The vertically adjustable journal boxes 35 of the roller 36 are carried byuprights 32 connected by a bar 33 and having a sliding flange connexion 6, 34 with the sides of the bed 1, while gears 41 on the spindle of the roller mesh with racks 42 on the bed which are vertically adjustable by screws 48, Fig. 1. A covering of rubber is placed upon the roler 36 and a blanket of rubber, leather, felt, &c. beneath the type upon the bed. The sides of the type chase are continued beyond the ends thereof, so as to form bearings for guide-rollers over which an inking-ribbon 28 travels ; recesses in the bottom of the chase engage fixed pins on the bed. The ribbon 28 passes-over the type and is wound on rollers 29. Pivoted arms 66, Fig. 1, are connected with ratchet gear on the rollers 29, and are rocked by the movement of the impression roller so as to move the ribbon intermittently. The ratchetwheels operate in opposite directions, and a single pawl 69 can be moved from one wheel to the other in order to vary the direction of motion of the ribbon. The driven, end of each tubular roller 29 is pinned to the shoulder 24 of a shaft 23, Fig. 3, while the other end is held by an inwardly spring- pressed stud 20. In order to diminish the pressure of the roller 36 upon short lines of type, by which the impression may be made uniform, one side of the bed is formed as a track 49 having a number of holes spaced apart to correspond with the lines of-type. Flat-headed pins may be placed in those holes where short lines of type occur, and these engage a disk 52 on the spindle of the roller 36. The sheet to be printed is fed to an end gauge 58 on a plate 53. Fig. 6, the plate being adjustably secured to a bar 54 at one end of the frame by screws 57. A lip upon a strip 59, adjustable upon the plate 53, forms a side lay for the sheet. A member 73 pivoted to one side of the bed normally rests with its stud 77 below the sheet of paper, but by pressing a finger upon the lug 76 the paper is raised and can be removed easily from the bed.

Abstract: 18,764. Leader, C. E. Aug. 20. Brakes.-An engine contact is lifted by engagement with a track contact when the engine passes the "home" signals at danger, and so lowers the rod 29, Fig. 8, and opens the valve 30 in the pipe 32. The opening of this valve admits steam to a small engine 33, which, through suitable connexions, drives the bevel 34, to which is geared a bevel 35 mounted on a spindle 35<a> to the other end of which is attached another bevel-wheel 36 gearing with the wheel 37. A bevel-wheel 38, made integral 'with the wheel 37, drives wheels 39, 40, which wheels control suitable screw-down valves 41, 42 in the steam-admission pipe and the vacuum air-pump pipe respectively. Another bevelwheel 44, gearing with the wheel 34, is mounted on a spindle 45 in a journal 46, the spindle being fitted above the journal with a screw-thread carrying a nut 47. The spindle bears at its upper end in a bracket 49 carrying a detent 50, which is normally in engagement with the notch 51<a> of the spring-held rod 51 of the valve 51b. When the engine is started by the opening of the valve 30, the train of wheels will be set in motion to shut down the valves 41, 42, to cut off steam and stop the pump. Simultaneously, the engine is stopped by the nut 47 releasing the detent 50, allowing the valve 51<b> to close. The nut 47, in rising, also tilts a lever 53<a>, Fig. 10, which operates through the lever 54 to lift the slotted plug 55 and allow air to be admitted to the vacuum pipe 59 to apply the brakes. The screw 56 adjusts the length of the slot in the plug 55. The valve - rod 57 has a bearing to the lower end of which a spring 57<a> is fitted, while 58 is a spring notch which is adapted to enter a recess in the rod 29 to hold the valve rod until released by hand. The rod 29 may be connected by a communication cord, or the like, by means of which the steam may be shut off and the brake applied by the guard if necessary. It may also be operated by the driver.

Filed: 1907-10-23
Granted: 1908-09-24
Abstract: 23,365. Baird, A. C. Oct. 23. Heating water.- Exhaust steam is led into a steam condensing appliance where it is utilized to heat feed - water, and where oil is separated. Specification No. 9866, A.D. 1897, [Abridgment Class Steam generators], is referred to. A casing 5, closed by a door 6 with lead gaskets and swivelling screw bolts 8, is divided by a partition 17. The upper part contains a fluted dome 2, Fig. 2, supported on an oil-collecting box 10. Exhaust steam passes through a pipe 1 into the dome 2, which has holes 23 round the lower edge of the fluted part, and slits 24 with tongues 25 behind in the concave parts of the fluting. Feed-water at the same time is fed by a pipe 4 over the exterior of the dome. Oil carried by the exhaust steam remains within the dome and falls into the box 10, whence it is withdrawn at intervals. The heated water flows through perforations in the partition 17 into the lower part of the chamber 5. The lower part, which forms a filter, is divided by one or more vertical partitions 12, and the compartments thus formed communicate in series by perforations at the top and bottom of the dividing-partitions alternately, the first compartment communicating with the upper part of the chamber 5 through perforations in the partition 17. Horizontal perforated partitions 18 are fitted across each compartment before the openings in the dividing-wall leading to the next compartment. The four compartments are filled with filtering-media, preferably coke, sawdust, esparto-grass, and asbestos. The heated water escaping from the last compartment by a pipe 20 may pass into another similar apparatus, and finally to a tank fitted with a float for controlling the supply of feed-water to the heaters. The casing 5 and the tank are fitted with stand-pipes 26 open to the atmosphere. In the Provisional Specification it is stated that back pressure is prevented by passing the exhaust first into a chamber where it is allowed to expand.

Title: Improved Turning Mechanism for Bridges.
Inventor: OR FLORIMOND D
Filed: 1907-12-14
Granted: 1908-02-13
Abstract: 27,649. Or, F. d'. Dec. 14. Fluid-pressure bearings.-In swinging bridges the turning-mechanism of which is actuated by fluid pressure, the pivot 4 supporting the bridge is carried by a piston 2, which moves within a cylinder 1 under the action of fluid pressure, the fluid being admitted to the cylinder by a pipe 3. A bolt 7 is fixed to the pivot 4, and moves in a helical groove, formed in the collar 5, which contains the pivot. To allow of sufficient vertical displacement of the pivot to raise the bridge off its supports, the vertical part of the groove 8 is enlarged at 9. Subsequent vertical displacement of the pivot causes the bolt to take into the helicoidal portion of the groove, and the bridge is thereby revolved, the length of the groove being proportionate to the desired angle of revolution. As an alternative, the bolt 7 may be attached to the collar and the groove 8 formed on the pivot. In order that the weight of the bridge, during its closing operation, may be borne by the piston and not by the contact of the bolt 7 with the collar 5, the groove 8 is enlarged downwardly at 10.
